This mildly surprised me, doesn't seem explicit enough, a thumbs up can represent having received but not necessarily agreed, strange new world

Judge considered their previous history of transactions where they had completed similar deals with short responses over text. "Yeah", "looks good", etc.

Thumbs up emoji would be considered a reasonable sign of acceptance given their previous history
